Critical reception

The following are notes written by the press about the DVD and the shows in the context of the Deadwing and Arriving Somewhere DVD tours:

• Time Out (19 May 2005) – "[Steve] Wilson has long demonstrated a knack for reconciling vintage influences with contemporary sounds, while never forgetting the strength of a solid hook... capable of soaring melodies and celestial harmonies"[4]
• Daily Variety (14 June 2005) – "Porcupine Tree... delivered music that was opulent, aggressive, and occasionally haunting yet consistently pristine in the execution"[4]
• The New York Times (10/6/2006) – "Suitelike songs, complex meters, and epic ambitions"[5]
• Boston Herald (10/7/2006) – "In front of a sold-out, intensely devoted crowd at the Berklee Performance Center Thursday night, the... quintet demonstrated its unique gift for shifting sound dynamics with a mind-bending two-hour performance."[5]
• Record Collector – "Captures the Brit quartet at the peak of their powers"[3]
• Sound and Vision (11/10/2006) – "When it comes to surround sound, Porcupine Tree is in a league by itself"[6]
